That's kind of an unexpected workflow. The idea is that either you go the full way in Eclipse or you use Ant/DDMS. Trying to combine both is a recipe for confusion :-)
What you can try: - use Ant to compile - use the ant "install" or "reinstall" target to push the apk - launch app manually - you can still debug by manually selecting the app in Eclipse > DDMS perspective and applying the "debug" icon on it. - make sure you have automatic build disabled in Eclipse If you don't want to launch the app manually you can make an ant target by using the "adb shell am start" launch command. It goes something like this (from memory): $ adb shell am start -D com.blah.myapp/com.blah.myapp.MyMainActivity (run am without args to see the help) HTH R/ On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 11:02 PM, Craig <supkic...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 2:36 PM, Raphael <r...@android.com> wrote: >> >> On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 6:26 PM, Craig <supkic...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> >>> On May 26, 9:49 pm, Zero <zeroo...@googlemail.com> wrote: >>>> from my experience, eclipse never used the build.xml for it's internal >>>> builds - how did you do that ? >>> >>> The eclipse build doesn't use build.xml at all, but due to the fact >>> that build.xml is in the eclipse project (because it is in the same >>> directory as AndroidManifest.xml) eclipse tries to "build it" or at >>> least parse it and check for errors. build.xml can't be parsed by >>> eclipse (even though it is a valid file according to ant) and thus the >>> android builder refuses to launch the project at all.
